Newly custom built cottage w/ modern amenities, quietly nestled among the Osprey

A 3 mile island located in the middle of the Potomac River, in Southern Maryland is located only 75 minutes from our Nation's Capital, Old Town Alexandria, and Maryland's newest Casino MGM @ National Harbor. IF you MUST take a day trip.

BUT I think you will choose to stay on The Island! Neighbors still come over and say hello (Mr. and Mrs. Pike love my awesome guests)!!

How about a bike ride to the Scuttlebutts, the local gathering hole! Or a ride to the park after you stop and get an ice cream at Bobs Market, Cobb Island Market. Or, you can simply sit back, cast a line and enjoy watching nature while the kiddos play in the knee deep water. Visit The Cove the newest addition to the island, A WINE BAR!!!!

Cobb Island is known for its old fishing and crabbing cottages, quint atmosphere, a local fisherman hideaway (Jason down the street can hook you up with Maryland crabs). Cobb Island is where you simply enjoy being surrounded by friends and family amongst nature!! Don't worry you have internet!

Newly constructed (built by a custom builder) in 2007 with entertaining in mind (caterer and wine lover, Me), CI Wine Country Cottage provides the modern day necessaries (what I would consider important):

"MOM", lock the door, Grab a cocktail and sit in the Jacuzzi tub!!!!!!

(It's ok to take time for yourself)!!!

If you must, hollower off the deck, to spouse and kiddos!! Water view out both sliding glass doors

* King Size Bed

* Rainforest Shower

* Jack and Jill Sinks

* Extra Large Hot Tub with Robes when Mom needs to escape with a bath bubble bath and salts, and an adult beverage!!

Outside

* 10 Person Custom Built Picnic Table

* Lounging Area

* 6 Person additional entertainment table

About Liz Hopkinson

My grandparents had a little vacation cottage on the island back in the 70 and 80's. They would travel on the weekends from near by (an hour and 15 minutes) Brentwood MD, just on the District line.
As grandchildren, We, the cousins, used to spend time at Cobb. The best days were spent in the water, picking raspberries and making homemade ice-cream, and riding bikes! I spent a lot of time sitting at the picnic table as well, TIME OUT before it was call timeout!!
Today, visiting the island is the same, crab cake sandwiches, fighting over the biggest crab in the pot, neighbors waving to each other. YES after 20 years, it is still the same.
Always a friendly hello!! But instead of ice cream it is a full meal at one of the 3 restaurants or a simple cookout with a glass of wine or a adult beverage!! Visit The Cove, a wonderful wine and coffee bar, a new addition to the island!!
You will just have to experience it!!

Liz Hopkinson purchased this House in 2007

Me and my family had a great time spending our Thanksgiving here. The house is extremely cozy and the backyard view is spectacular. One of the best things about this place is that when the tide is high, everything is silent and peaceful. Liz was extremely accommodating as a landlord. Very hands off, but always quick to respond and help. I would definitely recommend this place!

Liz's Island was one of the best vacations our family has enjoyed in a long time. We are a Crab Feast family from way back so being able to teach our grandkids the fine art of "crabbing" right outside the back door was unforgettable! The kitchen and outdoor amenities were just perfect for us - with several family chefs on site we had everything we needed to make our meals perfect every day. The crab pots, canoe and kayak, floats, and even jacuzzi toys for the grand girls were much appreciated as well. Liz was such a gracious hostess and available on the spot when we needed her help. Discovering this little island only 20 minutes away from our son was the highlight of our 2018 - we will definitely be back!! Thanks Liz!!

Enjoyed our stay. Kids especially liked the beach area and using the canoe. Lots of fishing from the dock.

Owner's Response:

Hi!!!

Thank you for choosing to stay at Wine Country on a Cobb Island! The beach area is wonderful!! Shallow enough at low tide to play in the sand. And deep enough at night tide to dock a boat at the end of the pier.

I will be sure to continue to figure out what guests are looking for!! Thanks for your feed back! It always helps!!

Hope to see you again! 🌞

Liz was the most welcoming host! Her house was fully prepared for a fun adventure for a family with children. We enjoyed the beach and water and couldn't get enough swimming biking and boating.

Thank you Liz for sharing your slice of heaven with us :)
